...Harvard, Cohen replied that there were a total of 10 students who Epps had lined up tutors to "warn." Should we continue to exercise our democratic rights to protest (which we unreservedly will), we will be tried by the administration's kangaroo court, the Committee on Rights and Responsibilities (CRR), which was set up to enforce Draconian legislation and purge "undesirables" in the aftermath of the '69 Harvard strike.

We hope the Faculty Council will finally recommend to the full Faculty that this sick dog of an organization at last be put out of its misery. And as for students, the CRR boycott is a proud--and effective--legacy of the years of political activism at Harvard and one that today's students should uphold...
